5.1 LPG Fires LPG is a liquefied-compressed gas. It is kept in liquid form using pressure. If the pressure is released from the container such as when a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE) occurs, all of the liquid turns into a gas instantly . This makes LPG very dangerous when a leak or fire occurs, especially if there is flame impingement on the container. Because the materials are already above their boiling points, flame impingement, radiant heat transfer, or increases in ambient temperature, can cause the materials to boil faster. Faster boiling causes an increase in pressure within the container. Even though the containers are specially designed to withstand pressure and have relief valves provided to release excess pressure, there are limits to the pressure they can tolerate. If the pressure build-up in the container exceeds the ability of the tank to hold the pressure or the relief valve to relieve the pressure, the container will fail. Flame impingement on the vapour space of the tank will cause the metal to weaken and fail causing a BLEVE. When dealing with emergencies involving pressure containers and flammable gases, great caution should be taken. If a BLEVE is going to occur, it's just a matter of time. There usually is no way of knowing how long the flame impingement has been going on prior to the fire department arrival. There is no way to know exactly when the BLEVE will occur. If the only threat to life is that of the emergency responders, then there is little reason to risk the lives of the responders needlessly. Precautions should be taken to ensure personnel safety when fighting fires involving flammable gases. Flammable gas fires should not be extinguished until the source of the gas has been shut off. The vapour density of LPG is 1.5m making it heavier than air. The vapours will tend to hug the ground and seek low places like basements and confined spaces. As such, it is much safer to have the gas on fire and know where it is then to have the gas leaking and going where it wants to. Small LPG fires can be safely extinguished using dry chemical type extinguishers. 5.2 Chemical Standard Spill Orders

5.4 Flood / Storm Flood

Hazards indentified as per risk assessment

Storm Water Contamination: Emergency Response is to turn on Water Key Stone Valves.

Electrical Hazard from water in buildings: Energized lines in water or flooded buildings can create a large area of electrified water. Water-soaked ground increases the area of risk near downed lines or other electrified structures. Emergency Response: Evacuate area/s turn off electrical mains, call for Fire Brigade. Storm In the event of Falling Branches, falling parts of building the State Emergency Services are to be called to evaluated conditions. Evaluation is to be made by the ERT if Evacuation is required of area or site. 5.5 Poison

In the event of a poison incident due to Food, Water, Chemicals, Medication or other form of poison. Emergency Response is to immediately call the ambulance and establish the form of poison consumed or in contact with. Refer to MSDS where possible.

Section 6: Bomb Threats All bomb threats are to be taken seriously; a bomb treat may be a prank, or a warning of an impending bomb attack 6.1 Threats Bomb threats may be in one of the following forms: a) Written Threat If a bomb threat is received in writing, it should be kept, including any envelope or container. Once a message is recognised as a bomb threat, further unnecessary handling should be avoided. Every possible effort has to be made to retain evidence such as possible fingerprints, handwriting or typewriting, paper and postmarks. Placing the evidence in an envelope (preferably a plastic envelope) should protect such evidence. b) Telephone Threat An accurate analysis of the telephone threat can provide valuable information on which to base recommendations, action and subsequent investigation. The person receiving the bomb threat by telephone should NOT HANG UP and, as soon as possible, complete the information required by the bomb threat checklist. The bomb threat check list shall be held by telephonists and other persons who regularly accept incoming telephone calls. 1. Refer to bomb threat checklist. 2. The reason for not hanging up is to assist in call tracing.

6.2 Suspect object A suspect object is any object found on the premises and deemed a possible threat by virtue of its characteristics, location and circumstances. 6.3 Evaluation Following an analysis of information received, the chief warden, or in his absence, the deputy chief warden should categorise the bomb threats, which may be either specific or non-specific as follows: 6.4 Specific threat The caller will provide more detailed information, which could include statements describing the device, why it was placed, its location, the time of activation and other details. Although less common, the specific threat is the more credible. 6.5 Non-specific threats An individual may make a simple statement to the effect that a device has been placed. Generally, very little, if any, additional detail is conveyed before the caller terminates the conversation. The non-specific threat is the more common, but neither threat can be immediately discredited without investigation. In other words, every threat has to be treated as genuine until proven otherwise. Evaluation involves assessing one of four possible alternatives— 1. Take no further action; 2. Search without evacuation; 3. Evacuate and search; or 4. Evacuate (without search). Each of these options will have advantages and disadvantages related to safety, speed of search, thoroughness, productivity and morale, and have to be assessed against the potential risk. 6.6 Notification Upon receipt of a threat or discovery of a suspect object, the Police should immediately be advised. 6.7 Search The most appropriate personnel to carry out a search, in any given area, are the Area Wardens/ Manager/Supervisors of the department, or workplace because they have the knowledge of ‘what belongs’ or ‘what does not belong’ in a location at any given time. The aim of the search is to identify any object that is not normally found in an area or location, for example, (a) A suspiciously labelled object; (b) An object similar to that described in the threat; (c) An object of unusual size, shape and sound; or (d) The presence of pieces of tape, wire, string or explosive wrappings, or other

unfamiliar materials. On locating a suspect object, search personnel should not touch, cover or move it. The location should be conspicuously marked. After ensuring there is no other suspect objects in the vicinity, the area should be evacuated and isolated. Search of other areas should continue to ensure that there are no other suspect objects.

General priorities for searching should follow the following sequence: 1. Outside areas including evacuation assembly areas. 2. Building entrances and exits and, particularly, paths people will use to evacuate. 3. Public areas within buildings. NOTE: In most buildings, public areas that are accessible for the placement of an ‘object’. Also they usually provide a means of exit, which evacuees have to pass through, or be in proximity to, during an evacuation. 6.8 Evacuation Options If the decision to evacuate is made, persons should be requested to remove all personal belongings, e.g. handbags, briefcases, shopping or carry bags, when evacuating. This will facilitate the identification of suspect objects.

Section 10: Critical Incident Recovery Plan 9.1 Support Plan A MAJOR DISRUPTION TO FOAM SUPPLIES In the event of a major disruption of foam supplies, foam, where possible, should be sourced from: Dunlop Foams Qld 07 3345 3644 Dunlop Foams VIC 03 9215 2020 Dunlop Foams WA 08 9417 9611 Joyce NSW 02 9821 8755 All Dunlop branches listed should be able to provide buns, peel, sheets, mattress, etc. while only buns and specialty foams should be sourced from outside the company. A major disruption to foam supply would mean temporary supply needing to be transported to the site. Preferred transport companies for supplies of stock are: Refer to STATE OPERATIONS MANAGER Transport needs would range between 6 and 14 semi trailers per day depending on the length and severity of the supply disruption. As an alternative to this, vacuum packed buns sent via rail freight from Queensland and Melbourne may also provide a viable solution to bulk transfers. As a disruption to the foam supply may also mean a disruption to chemical holdings, the preferred suppliers of chemicals for the site are: BASF Australia Ltd 03 9212 1500 Dow Chemicals (AUS) Ltd 1800 780 074 Shell Chemicals 1300 66 99 88 International Sales & Marketing Pty Ltd 02 9580 2400

9.2 Support Plan B MAJOR DISRUPTION TO CONVERSION PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Upon major disruption to the conversion facility and specifically loss of machinery, the first option will be to immediately rebuild any conversion machines in local storage from all available spare parts. Should the engineering department be unable to undertake this in a minimal time frame, outside engineers are to be sourced by the engineering department to aid in the repair of machinery.

9.3 Support Plan C LOSS OF COLD STORE AND STOCK A loss of the cold block store would mean loss of stock and therefore a major disruption of foam supply. In this case plan A should be referred to. As with the loss of the conversion facilities, local buildings would be required to be leased until the return of the cold block store. Contacts for this area are: Vincent Developments – Landlord Peter Vincent: P: 02 9999 1775 M: 0418 232 538 Mark Vincent: P: 02 9999 1775 M: 0417 232 537 Should there be no vacant buildings close to the site the possibility of renting a temporary marquee would be investigated although the availability of these in the required size is unknown.

Which Plan to Utilise

Scenario Probable Support Plan

Foam Plant destroyed A

Conversion Plant destroyed A + B

Bulk Store destroyed A + C

Chemical Suppliers cease supply A

Site contaminated by Chemical Spill A with cleanup

Staffing Levels The major disruption / loss of any facility on site may impact on staffing requirements. Any major disruption should see excess staff first offered their available annual leave before decisions on required staff are made. Staff may also be offered roles outside their normal duties to aid in the recovery from the incident. Should the disruption be long and recovery take time, consideration needs to be given to the appropriate staff required for the short term with alternative arrangements being considered for staff not required in the short term. A serious loss to the conversion facility may require some staff to be relocated to other Dunlop Foams sites to guarantee production of orders continues for local customers.
